The community residing at Gita Nagari Farm is an intentional community, which Wikipedia defines as:
a planned residential community designed to have a much higher degree of teamwork than other communities. The members of an intentional community typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision and are often part of the alternative society. They typically also share responsibilities and resources. Intentional communities include cohousing communities, residential land trusts, ecovillages, communes, survivalist retreats, kibbutzim, ashrams and housing cooperatives. Typically, new members of an intentional community are selected by the community's existing membership, rather than by real-estate agents or land owners (if the land is not owned collectively by the community).
The spiritual vision held by the residents is the goal of understanding our relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When we understand this, we align all our activites to achieving this goal. The residents understand that their primary identity is as servant of the Supreme Lord. This encompasses service to all other individuals, both within and outside of the community.
